Please join us in welcoming two new members to the SAFE Board of Directors: Kaydee Johnston and Tiffany Stewart!! SAFE is so fortunate to have these amazing women step up to help at the Board level. They are delightful to work with, and they each have genuine passion for horses and for SAFE. Let’s introduce them:
Kaydee Johnston is a lifelong entrepreneur with a passion for horses and the equine community. Her career spans venture capital, product marketing, and global brand development. She was an early investor in Ariat International and later served as Vice President of Global Marketing for Brunswick Corporation, leading initiatives that strengthened some of the world’s most recognized consumer brands.
Today, Kaydee channels her experience into Pony Tail Sportswear — an innovative equestrian apparel brand she founded to empower riders with style, technology, and performance. When she isn’t managing her company, you’ll find her riding her cutting horse, Shakin Sugaree, tackling barn chores, or enjoying life in Walla Walla, Washington.
Kaydee is deeply committed to animal welfare and is honored to support nonprofits that promote the health, safety, and dignity of horses and animals in need. She is proud to serve on SAFE’s Board of Directors.
Tiffany Stewart is a lifelong animal lover whose passion for horses began in childhood at her grandparents’ farm and riding her pony, Bounce. In 2025, she deepened that passion by joining her daughter Capri in riding and horsemanship clinics with her horse, Juanita—an experience that strengthened her appreciation for the patience, trust, presence, and consistent care that help horses thrive.
Professionally, Tiffany is the founder and owner of a medical expert witness company she has led for nearly 20 years. She brings experience building strong teams, improving operations, and creating scalable systems that support sustainable growth. As a member of SAFE’s Board of Directors, Tiffany is honored to support SAFE’s mission and help the organization expand its impact.
Kaydee and Tiffany join current members Amanda Madorno (President), Lisa Pascualy (Co-Secretary), Leigh Jasper (Treasurer), Elaine Rose, Amy Quackenbush, and Bill Conquergood, our 2026 SAFE Board of Directors. Thank you to all of our BoD members for your hard working making SAFE a better, stronger organization!
Special thanks to Trish Markey who completed her Board service as President at the end of 2025. Trish did so much to make SAFE grow and prosper, and we are so grateful to her for her support and collaboration during her time at the helm. Thankfully, Trish has agreed to stay on as a member of SAFE’s Advisory Board, and we’re very luck to have her!
Finally, we’d like to thank Sheila Otter whose second Board term also came to an end in December. Sheila lent SAFE her creativity, connections, and positivity for the past four years as a valued member of the Board and she will be very missed!!
